1 News from eRHIC Matt Lamont, Thomas Ullrich, William Foreman, Anders Kirleis, Michael Savastio, Elke Aschenauer and the CAD-eRHIC Team E.C. AschenauerEIC-Convener Meeting, AUG. 2009
eRHIC group in Physics E.C. Aschenauer EIC-Convener Meeting, AUG eRHIC taskforce formed weekly meetings on EVO concentrate on simulating “golden physics channels” and to develop tools/software to be used by collaboration detector – IR design together with CAD In process of hiring 2 PostDocs Have 3 students over the summer Information available openly for everybody at Summer Work generate tools to simulate have rapgap & pythia root-trees work to provide dvcs, pepsi and Hermes-transversity generators simulated dis & diffractive events for several energy settings design a detector in Geant fitting in IP-2 design a detector in Geant fitting in IP-2 (software based on STAR & ATLAS) generate tools to MC Geant root-trees and a lot of more
Momentum vs. Theta of Scat. Electron What we see: Differences between DIS and diffractive events Different angle & momentum distributions depending on electron + proton energies Momentum (GeV/c) Theta (degrees) GeV DIS Diffractive GeV DIS Diffractive 60 o o 140 o o What we do: Edit codes so only information for certain particles are plotted, both in DIS and diffractive E.C. Aschenauer 3EIC-Convener Meeting, AUG All done by William Foreman
π+ Momentum vs. Angle What we see: Angles at which pions are projected for different energies in both DIS and diffractive events In DIS events, pions tend to be sent at much smaller angles compared to diffractive events Theta (degrees) 0 o o Momentum (GeV/c) GeV DIS Diffractive GeV Diffractive DIS We use this information to design the detector!

Medium Energy eRHIC Concept Medium Energy eRHIC Concept E.C. Aschenauer EIC-Convener Meeting, AUG Geometrical constraints: If it is possible use the existing interaction region at RHIC 2 o’clock and wider tunnel to place the superconducting linac inside it. Minimize civil construction cost and re-use for eRHIC already built and installed linac.
IR-Design for MeRHIC I E.C. Aschenauer EIC-Convener Meeting, AUG no synchrotron shielding included
Detection from hadron beam fragments Tagging from Au fragments and p in ep suppress incoherent scattering / ensure exclusivity suppress incoherent scattering / ensure exclusivity neutrons are detected in ZDC neutrons are detected in ZDC protons use magnetic rigidity Au:p 2.5:1 protons use magnetic rigidity Au:p 2.5:1 DX magnets disturbs p tagging E.C.
